Turnip Gratin

[ShihTzuMom1]

This recipe looks great and I learned something new today.  What I always thought were turnips are actually rutabagas.  I have never seen a white turnip.  As far as I know they only sell yellow rutabagas here in my area of Ontario, but everyone calls them turnips.  I'll have to look next time I am shopping in Buffalo, NY and see if I can find them.  They look like they would be so much nicer for this recipe and turnip fries.  I'll have to look and see if the carb count different for rutabagas?  Who knew, I always thought they were turnips!!

It looks like Turnips are 2.5grams and Rutabagas are 4grams - per 1/2 cup.

Here's probably more than anybody wants to know about the differences between turnips and rutabagas.

You'll read that rutabagas are starchier than turnips.
That explains the higher carb count.

Its wicked good.i use a mandoline slicer that way I don't have to precook the turnips.My father in law takes the whole pan when I bring them to his house

[Andrea]

I finally figured out how to use my mandolin slicer so that I could make this recipe.  It's become a staple at our house.  We love it.

I'm going to try this, because it looks great, and I have never eaten a turnip that I liked. I still remember that dirty trick gramma pulled on us as kids. They sure looked like boiled potatoes.

When you guys make this, do you use that kind of cheese all the time? I don't think I've ever noticed it in the store.

I make a cheese sauce using a tablespoon of butter, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of water and either a cup and a half of white or yellow medium cheddar. Heat the butter til melted over medium heat, add the cream and cheese, continue to heat until the cheese is melted,  DO NOT BOIL  layer the turnip slices in a baking dish and pour on some sauce, do another layer and a bit more sauce, another layer...more sauce until completed. Make sure to reserve enough sauce for the top. Bake at 350 degrees until golden and bubbly.
